How do you fix scratchy slides? My trumpet has pretty good valves, however the slides feel scratchy (I don't know how to explain it)... they just feel like they are misaligned or improperly fit.

Thank you so much, I was wondering why my baritone was crackling and this solved it.

My problems is I can't even get the valve out.

I just borrowed a baritone. Valve 1 was very sticky. It was terrible. I cleaned it, oiled it, but it didn't work. But I had also messed with the oil of the other valves. And I noticed that the oil was making them more sticky. That's when I noticed that too much oil is a thing. At least with the bicycle chain oil I used. It's a thin oil, but probably not very thin. I took the valves out, and cleaned only the valves, and left the residual oil in the cylinders. I cannot remove all the oil from the cylinder by cleaning only the valve, so there will be very little oil left in the cylinder. As long as there's some oil, it should be fine. Because the contact area is very wide, the parts are not under very high contact forces, and the parts are very smooth. This means, any little oil there will be trapped between parts, and parts may have almost no chance of rubbing each other. On the other hand, oils have very high cohesion and reasonably high adhesion. So, if there's too much oil, it acts like a weak glue. My 3rd valve was great. I messed up that one. Then, fixed all of them. When I played it, I had no problems at all 😍 BTW, I noticed that springs of valve 1 and 2 were shorter than valve 3. The wire thicknesses were the same. So I stretched the short springs just enough to make them approximately the same lenght as valve 3 spring. It was not a huge change for springs, so I don't expect them to get weak because of that. But this change makes them slightly stronger.

Awesome. Thank you. It helped my 13-year-old out!

THANK YOU!

Thank you!!

Thank you this was useful

THANK YOU!!!!!! We had just the problem you described (first version) and had no inkling about the 'clicking in'. Watched you & problem solved! My ten year old daughter now knows how to lube the valves correctly!

OMG , TYSM! I FINALL FIXED IT MY BAND TEACHER WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MAD AT ME 😅

This helped so much thank you

Thank you. My son was freaking out because his valve was stuck and I found your video and fixed it. Saved me 65 dollars an hour at the repair shop. You rock thank you

I got one used first one and it was sticky because the bottom part was dented by the twisties, so i put some dowel broom wood inside and worked it well enough to not stick. now to learn to play. Day too mutzin about with it, I def want a mute I like the sound

Clean the valves AND the valve casing.

While the valve is out clean the inside of the valve shaft with a valve brush.

Thanks a ton! Fixed my problem in 2 minutes!

Thank you! That really helped

Your my savior

Just got my kids valve to move. Thank you!

Thank you for the help!

Ignore the state of the casing?

Thank you for your guidance. My daughter is new to the trumpet world. Your instructions worked perfectly.

I bought one of those moth piece tools from Amazon that only cost 21$

love how you can hear something resonating after the Euphonium is played

Sticky flugel valve fixed! Thanks😍

I just bought a new trumpet on ebay... yes ebay it was 20$ and a bundy selmer so yes... but its stuck bad I've cleaned it and oiled it tried working it back and forth but it wont move on its own at all i was curious so i put it in a different valve to check to see if it was the valve itself or not and it was fine but i put it back in the right one and it does not move any help or advice would be very appreciated!!!

Using a rag with one person pulling the mouthpiece and the other pulling the other side will get the job done

Thank you so much! I’ve been dealing with sticky valves all marching band season and this really helped!

Wow! Thank you so much my middle valve is finally working again!

PMG THANK YOU I HAVE A SOLO IN A FEW HOURS AND MY VALVE IS NO LONGER STUCK THANK YOU!

This works sooooo well got my valve unstuck after being stuck for mounths.

That was so helpful ... Thanks for sharing

Why don’t you just clean your horn? If this happens then it is a sign that you have to clean it anyway. Why risk corrosion and red rot in the trumpet over having the valves work. Seems like a bad trade in my eyes.

i'm a fan i admire ur work. love the me tarzan u jane song. keep rocking

Trumpet valves that have tight tolerances become sticky when lint from rags builds up. Wash the pistons and air dry them without using rags or microfiber cloth.

hello, the audios can be downloaded?, as in other play along series.

It's always the 3d valve...

Sometimes you need to stretch out the spring a tiny bit. I had to do it to my 3 valve spring. It’s been 20 years and my valves are still good as new.

I am new to trumpet so thank you for helping me so much

after doing this it wouldnt play at all

Thanks man I just got this new trumpet and the valve kept getting stuck

Bought a trumpet off of a dude online... middle valve was horrible.. your video..saved me! thank you :D

thanks!

honestly they just get worse after oiling!

Did not really help because I have zoom school

hola

thanks dad l

You can also get a cloth and attempt to twist it off, it took me a few tries, but I got it out without tools

Thank you so much! My directors AND my mom (who is a director) kept telling me that it was because of my hand position, but I knew that it was more than that. Thanks!
